Patient's question:
Should the antiepileptic medication be adjusted during pregnancy? My wife has epilepsy, and she is 26 years old this year. I don't know if it will be inherited from generation to generation if she gets pregnant in the future, and whether it will affect the child. Now, how should the medication be adjusted, and what kind of help is needed: Should the antiepileptic medication be adjusted during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Focusing on antiepileptic drug treatment: Except for a very small number of patients who have stopped having seizures more than ten years ago before planning pregnancy and have normal test results, most patients should focus on antiepileptic drug treatment during pregnancy and delivery. This is because seizures during pregnancy, especially tonic seizures, may cause maternal injury, leading to miscarriage or other damage to the fetus. The above advice is for the question "Should antiepileptic drug therapy be adjusted during pregnancy?" and is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
